The ice dispenser will not operate properly
■ Freezer door closed completely? Close the door firmly. If it
does not close completely, see “The doors will not close
completely.”
■ Ice bin installed correctly? Be sure the ice bin is firmly in
position.
■ New installation? Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation
for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice
production.
■ Ice clogged in the ice storage bin or delivery chute?
Remove clogged ice, using a plastic utensil if necessary.
Clean chute and bottom of storage bin using a warm moist
cloth, and dry both thoroughly. To avoid clogging and maintain
a fresh supply of ice, empty the storage bin and clean both the
bin and delivery chute every two weeks.
■ Has the wrong ice been added to the bin? Use only cubes
produced by the current ice maker.
■ Has the ice melted around the auger (metal spiral) in the
ice bin? Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the
ice if necessary.
■ Is the ice dispenser stalling while dispensing “crushed”
ice? Change the ice button from “crushed” to “cubed.” If
cubed ice dispenses correctly, depress the button for
“crushed” ice and begin dispensing again.
■ Has the dispenser arm been held in too long? Ice will stop
dispensing when the arm is held in too long. Wait 3 minutes
for dispenser motor to reset before using again.
